The Missing Rib

Image
Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury. Most often than not, the outcome could be disastrous and detrimental.We vent our frustrations 99% at our loved ones.And even though we know that we ought to "think twice and act wisely", it's often easier said than done. Things happen each day, many of which are beyond our control.Let us treasure every moment and everyone in our lives.Tomorrow may never come; give and accept what you have today. The Missing Rib is tells such a story... A girl in love asked her boyfriend.. Girl (g): Tell me... who do you love most in this world? Boy (b): You, of course! (g): In your heart, what am I to you? (b): The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was said that God saw that Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's rib and created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only when you find the woman of your life; you'll no lon...

Never Ask God, Why Me

Image
Whenever i feel let down or miss a opportunity or sometimes feel miserable, I always remember this inspirational piece of story. Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Golden TV days

Image
Since the invasion of satellite television, our outlook of television has changed. Previously we had just 1 or 2 channels, where we enjoyed waiting and watching each programmes. But now, with so many channels, i don't think there are any programmes that make the same impressions as certain old ones from DD...which are still close to our heart. Even when there is a re-telecast i would sit and enjoy then again and again.What are the things that bring sweet nostalgic moments of childhood olden days of TV watching. Your fav programs, certain cartoons, national songs ,some ads...come on yaar...lets cherish that old moments! Rukaawat ke liye khed hai thats what we used to see most of the time those days.Urgggg...hhh how irritated we used to get seeing the sorry for interruption board displayed.I still cherish 'Mile Sure mera tumhara', bhaje sarjam har taraf se gunj ban kar desh Raag. Amongs animation i remember: Ek Anek ....ek chidiya anek chiya Ek Aan ka ek daana sukh dega mu...

The Four Wives

Image
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before l...

Points to Ponder

Image
No one can ruin your day without YOUR permission. Most people will be about as happy, as they decide to be. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it permanently. Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have. Success stops when you do. When your ship comes in.... Make sure you are willing to unload it. You will never have it all together. Life is a journey...not a destination. Enjoy the trip! The biggest lie on the planet When I get what I want I will be happy. The best way to escape your problem is to solve it. I've learned that ultimately , 'takers' lose and 'givers' win. Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive. We often fear the thing we wan...

Anger Danger

Image
Once upon a time there was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he should hammer a nail in the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. But gradually, the number of daily nails dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the first day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He proudly told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't ma...

Why people come to your life

Image
People come into our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an exp...

God Pinged Me

God: Hello. Did you call me? Me: Called you? No... Who is this? God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat. Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something. God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too. Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time. God: Sure.

Challenge Yourself & Stay Alive!

Put a Shark in your tank The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the differen...

Identify the problem first

Image
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops-a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened-Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of th...

Mind Game

Image
Petals Around The Rose Petals Around the Rose is a lateral thinking mind game traditionally played with five dice. It is played by computer program or with physical dice that are rolled by a Potentate of the Rose, a person who knows the secret of the game. For each roll of all dice, there is a single numerical solution. The players then attempt to arrive at this solution. If they do not, the Potentate of the Rose will tell it to them, and it is their task to figure out the solution for the next roll. There are three, and only three, rules: 1. The name of the game is "Petals Around the Rose", and the name is significant. 2. The answer is always zero or an even number. 3. Anyone who knows the game may give the answer to any roll, but they must not disclose the reasoning. When a person discovers how the answer is computed, they become a Potentate of the Rose themselves. Much akin to magic tricks, an integral part of the puzzle is that those who have solved it are urged to keep ...
